SUMMARY:Zapproved & Cinder Voices of Equity: Backlash & Social Movements
DESCRIPTION:Within the last 5 – 10 years we have seen more visibility of trans folks in media\, more Women & Women of Color in government\, and large social justice movements. However this has been followed by the overturning of Roe v Wade\, weaponizing of “Defund the Police”\, fear mongering of “Critical Race theory”\, and the filing of over and 240 anti-LGBTQ bills… (Deep breath) There is something about this moment that feels familiar. A pattern that we have lived over and over again\, and that pattern is the backlash inevitably tied to social progress. \nIn order to make our way through this Backlash with our dignity and humanity intact\, it’s first important that we shine a light on how it operates on both an interpersonal and structural level. \nJoin Robin Brown\, Facilitator and Strategist at Future Work Design as she discusses the downward swing of the pendulum in the fight for equality and the strategies we can use to hold firm in the face of resistance.\nSpeaker Bio: Robin Brown (she/her/hers) is a Black\, Trans\, immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago\, whose work is rooted in advocacy\, equity\, and justice. Through her arduous efforts of overcoming the barriers placed in organizations by institutional oppression was born a fierce passion for working toward dismantling it. Driving her is the idea that we can design an equitable work ecosystem that encompasses us all regardless of social identity. She is grounded in her purpose and from this root of strength transmits an expansive peacefulness. Her perspective has gifted her with the skill to connect individual experience with systemic design\, and through the power of storytelling she provokes thought\, emotion\, and action toward institutional change. Robin builds deep connections in all the work she does\, from connecting the dots as to why our work makes an impact\, to creating meaningful connections with clients. Her way of building connections is quietly powerful. Clients love working with Robin because of her kindness\, unique perspective\, passion for the work\, and ability to hold the discomfort that often comes with these difficult yet highly important conversations where so much is at stake. \nRegister here.

Going beyond the mere mechanics of SPC\, this workshop will also guide participants through the steps needed to define a process and determine proper measurement techniques so that the right control chart is used in the right place at the right time. \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be able to: \nUnderstand the role of SPC in the quality improvement process\nIdentify key process and product characteristics\nEstablish key characteristics for process monitoring\nDistinguish between variable and attribute data\nCreate a meaningful data collection plan\nUse statistics to separate common and assignable causes of variation b\nDecide when a particular SPC tool is appropriate to use\nCollect data for that tool and convert the data into charts\nInterpret patterns and signals on the charts\nPerform a process capability study\nUse Cause and Effect diagrams and Pareto charts to diagnose process problems\nUse statistical software programs for data analysis and to produce informative statistical graphics\nWho Should Attend:\nIndividuals and teams requiring a thorough understanding of the philosophy and tools of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in order to plan and implement successful SPC efforts their workplace. \nPrerequisites:\nParticipants in this training course should have: \nA laptop computer loaded with MS Excel (version 2003 or later). They will also need to add in the Analysis ToolPak\, a statistical package that comes with MS Excel.\nAn SPC project in mind from their workplace.\nExperience using personal computers\, especially using the Windows operating system. Basic math skills and be able to follow the order of operations for basic algebraic functions. \nRegister here.
